Yankee Flipper vs Persistent Squirrel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Today, I sat down for breakfast and I noticed a squirrel getting ready to climb on our bird feeder. This is not ordinary bird feeder. It is a Yankee Flipper that is designed to be squirrel proof. The squirrel climbed down and was promptly thrown off. Then the squirrel tried it again and somehow the feeder stopped spinning briefly and the squirrel got some food and then it was thrown off again. When it was climbing down for its third time, I got my camera and started recording the following in progress. The feeder was spinning so violently, that it was throwing seed sunflower kernels on the ground where the other squirrel was getting a good meal. Most of the noise in the background is the British Open, some of it is me.
This had got to be the funniest thing in RUclips & that squirrel 🐿️ is a Olympic Champion
That was beautiful. Few things have made me laugh so much, followed by an incredible respect for that squirrel. "Never give up! Never surrender!"
By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged!
LOL. We sell these at my work, and that's by far the longest I've ever seen a squirrel hang on.
Unbelievable!! I cannot believe how determined he was to hang on like that for that long!! Maybe he is enjoying it? Wow!!! What a nuisance!! Thanks for the giggle, though. :)
$10 says he ran off to puke somewhere
Hope it has a soft landing place!!
I love how the squirrel on the ground watches for awhile then goes back to eating
Didja notice? The squirrel figures out how to stop the spin at about 4:15, but only for as long as he can hold on. He lasts about a minute and a half, but right as the TV commercial says "Perseverance, never give up . . ." -- he loses it and starts spinning again.
sha1om Good catch!
@@seagullrock perseverance never give up thats their motto, no retreat no surrender.🤣
While he was up there spinning, his buddy was on the ground freely enjoying the spilled seeds.
That squirrel completely knows how to get arround the yankee. Lol 😆 🤣
This is BY FAR the most underrated video I've ever seen on RUclips. The first time I watched this, I had to pause multiple times to let the pain from the excessive laughter subside. I'm honestly surprised it doesn't have millions of views.
O cara que está filmando é rindo é uma pessoa pobre de espírito...tive pena do esquilo e também desse ser desumano
underrated is the most overrated word used on youtube comments
So much for a "Squirrel Proof Feeder". First pest takes a ride on the carnival ride, offsetting the center of gravity so bad it slings food all over the ground for pest #2 to have a feast.Pest #1 then jams a foot into a feed hole, jamming the motor and stuffs himself with seed.Thanks for posting this video to help me make up my mind to wave off this feeder.

He's a relentless squirrel, he still got into the food and hung in there for 9 minutes.
This squirrel is a metaphor for life. You go squirrel. You go
If anything, he's shaking all the seed out of it, and the one on the ground is just loving it, lol
I love it! Thanks for sharing it.
When I lived in Texas, I loved to sit by a window with a cup of coffee to watch the persistent and ingenious squirrels defeat, time and time again, my neighbors bird-feeders. I always rooted for them, and they never disappointed me!!! lol
That's one of them thrill seeking squirrels LOL!!
How does this squirrel ever walk straight after these little rides ? I love how his mate sits underneath and gets all the food the acrobat scrabbles out of the feeder.
The golf commentary synchs perfectly with this. Gold.
On time 😁
This video should be sent to Yankee Flipper manufacturing. They need to resolve this.
Absolutely. It's a simple fix, just use a material that they cant grip.
@@normanrhone2791 You think WD-40 might work? I was kinda thinking of a car battery and a drill motor for the squirrel spinner.
@@TimeTravelinc sounds like overkill.
@@normanrhone2791 “Moar POWAH!” -Tim “The Toolman” Taylor, Home Improvement
@@TimeTravelinc you do want the birds to be able to perch comfortably. Some birds will perch and break open the seeds right there on the perch. You don't want them eating wd40
Cirque du soleil wants the squirrel's number.
OMG - I wonder if he kept that food down after he got off that 'ride'!! LOLOL
I think the squirrel's gettin' off on it ! Must be one hell-of-an endorphin rush. Does anyone remember as a kid, just spinning around until you got so dizzy you couldn't standup?
That is a great feeder and an even more incredible squirrel !
I can imagine the little bastard finally getting thrown off & then telling his buddy "Squeeeek, squeeker, squeeek, squeek, squeekin" which, roughly translated, is "I think I'm BLIND."
Other squirrel is thinking thanks buddy keep doing that!
Wow, I was set to go buy one for my dad for Christmas until I saw this, his squirrels are smart. The video the company who sells them shows sure doesn't demonstrate them holding on like that! The only way I'd buy it is if I believed that it would pay for itself in the long run by saving me money in seed, doesn't look like that's going to happen, at least not with the smart squirrels.
Angie M the goodnature A24 squirrel trap will stop them.
This is HILARIOUS !!! 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣
I'm thinking, "Did they super glue his feet??"
And then when you said "No wonder the battery is running out"...😂
Ah, the will of a squirrel ...no man can defeat !!!
I wanna see that critter walk in a straight line!!
America got talent
lol, I think he likes it! A joy ride! I have one also.
I can't believe it! That little bastard got what he wanted! lol XD
Mighty kind to provide an E-ticket amusement ride for a squirrel, and an occasional snack shack for when the ride was finished, only to start out anew. Was impressed the squirrel didn't stagger on the ground.
It's a shame droll yankee never made this feeder also close it's feeding ports with the weight of the squirrel that way the seed would not fall out or squirrel would not just wear out the battery to get a reward.
Good idea.
Thats a looooooooooooooong ride on a merrygoround!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
These are so funny and amazing. My grandmother has one of these
Gotta give him credit...
he really earned his meal that day
That looks like the NASA centrifuge used to train Astronauts. That roof rat has to be pulling 3-5 g's. His eyeballs are staring out the back door.🤣
B.B. Gun, the only real answer. They are wearing the batteries down.
Вечно можно смотреть как льется вода,горит огонь и КРУТИТЬСЯ БЕЛКА НА КОРМАКЕ))))
Holy crap!!! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!!!
Okay , it seems he's spinning some of the seeds out so that it can eat from off the ground........it's really spinning though ❗😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh, no, he has a friend that's eating what he's spinning out. But he himself actually manages to stop the spinner a couple of times to eat the seed from the tap!
That squirrel totally deserved the food it got.
Well, I'm thinking he's passed the centrifuge test to be the first squirrel in the NASA astronaut corp...
This device should be designed to rotate faster and be mains powered. A 110/220V 100W 3500rpm motor would do the job :-)
FINALLY, a squirrel proof bird feeder. I LOVE it. Now we can irritate the squirrels instead of them irritating us LOL
Love your video. We have one of these feeders and can never catch a squirrel on it.... Guess it's doing the job ... Or our squirrels didn't graduate from " Spin College " Where Seeds Rule!!!
This could be a good place for a Squirrel Zapper. Some folks have built them. Or even a Squirrel Zipper. It would simply drop the plucky squirrel into a handy pouch and zip him inside. He could then be safely and sanitarily relocated to someones else's neighborhood. Like 50 or 60 miles away.
The one on the bottom reaps all the reward.
Like "keep goin', Pal! Keep going!"
That has to be a world record LOL!!!!
If humans had that much determination can you only imagine ? That's when reality hits and no not in this day and age.
That is too funny that's what he gets lol...🤣
Remove the extension from the hanger, that causes the spinner to loose most of its energy. Notice the top of the feeder is spinning as much as the bottom. That will get-er done.
How about a head banger at the side of the feeder ???/
Beryl Price XDXDXSDD BJ NKMUSD,X!!! I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS I PEED MYSELF. YOU SIR ARE FUNNY
Great ---- sliced ready for the frying pan
The embodiment of tenacious.....
I think that squirrel had some NASA training. Never saw a squirrel able to hold on so long. I was almost going to throw up just watching him/her.
LOL! At 9:33 The other squirrel was all like at "WTF ARE YOU DOING??!?! GET BACK UP THERE!"
Time to upgrade the motor on that thing.
I was considering buying one but changed my mind after watching this
Lovely video!
Thank you for sharing.
I think the squirrel likes it it's like a kid on a Merry-Go-Round let's go again let's go again
Guinness squirrel ! When the spinning stopped, I expected to see the squirrel's head flip back and forth. Wish we could have seen its eyes!
I always LOL watching squirrels on these feeders. Never had a feeder like this, but I heard the squirrel will spin forever until the batteries run out on feeder? Then squirrel gets easy meal. Lots of bite marks on feeder when that happens! A lot of seeds spill out. It's mostly fun to watch the squirrel spinning around. Great for laughs, so long as the battery stays alive. I wonder what's the record for "squirrel spinning" until the battery dies?
Smart squirrel. If the feeding port was an inch higher, it might make a difference.......
I haven't seen any feeder that squirrels wouldn't figure out
If a squirrel flipper won't stop those pesky squirrels, it's time to invest in an air rifle.
I use a super soaker, the run as soon as they spot it in my hands 😂
dont let other squirrels watch this videos
That was impressive!
Never has a squirrel worked harder for seed...
Nor had more fun...
WOW
You would’ve thought his equilibrium would’ve given out??? Wow!!! That’s muscle endurance!
That squirrel could be an astronaut or astrorodent
Wayyyyy more exciting than that boring golf game playing in the background!!!
Yes ladies and gentlemen , this is one badass squirrel ! But I'm sure he'll need a heavy dose of Dramamine when he's done ! 🤪
That's it. I'm getting the extended- length charge, high-speed flipper feeder when it comes out.
What is more ridiculous than a squirrel spinning on a bird feeder?
Humans watching a video of it, hoping to see the squirrel get flipped off! That is one badass strong squirrel!
Sacrificing himself to shake out a few nuggets of feed.
Smart bugger, the sooner the battery's wound down, the sooner he can get some feed. The motor needs to be a bit slower. The goal is to prevent the squirrel from grabbing any seed. Set it slow enough not to run down the battery quickly, and fast enough to keep the seed out of reach.
If it failed to get the squirl off and he still gets to the seed the product has failed. The company should be made aware of this.
Also, nice Nepenthes.
Thats what evolution looks like. He is acquiring the power to not feel dizzy after spinning. 😂 😂 😂
Meanwhile, the squirrel below is feasting on all the nuts/seeds spilling onto the ground thanks to his comrade’s circus act
they need to grease the handles where he hangs on to , I bet he flys off of it then
Funny. I laughed till I cried. Thanx for sharing.
Little SOB figured it out!
Executives for Yankee Flipper make note to have a larger battery option.
I kept expecting to see him blowing chunks.
Must be some dam good seed!
I lost my appetite just watching him!
Wow! I am surprised the squirrel didn't walk away looking drunk.
Do they have a FLIPPER for raccoons too??? I need one desperately!
Astro-NUT training
This is not the best proof feeder，the one which using squirrel's weight make the feeder down and covers the feeder holes that is the best feeder.
Didn't take long for the squirrel to learn that it could shake the food out of the feeder huh? Note it's buddy on the ground collecting the seeds. I think the jar lid video is my favorite squirrel test.
I think there's a Sunday school object lesson here.
Brilliant!! Where can I buy one??
Maybe after 1 minute, the thing could change gears to high speed? That squirrel was part Marine or Special Forces.
It took my squirrels a year and a half, but they did defeat this feeder. With two hind legs holding onto the shepherd’s hook, he grabbed the large nonmoving nut on the bottom of the feeder and his free hand stuffed his face. Solution: move to a different hanger.
I'd be nauseous. When I fell off I'd be walking like I was drunk.
I thought the whole point was to keep the squirrels from eating the bird seed, not letting a teammate squirrel sling it all over the ground for the other squirrels to eat.
Good thing is he is not able to eat much bird food 😂
For a while I figured his body left this world and was just spinning from the centrifugal force. I have the same feeder and my squirrels jump off immediately. I think they hate the motion and the noise. Same happens if a blue jays or other big bird triggers it. You got the LeBron James of squirrels. I also have the “flipper” model by the same company and the squirrels just drop right off it like the floor falling out. Works great
Holy crap....that is one determined rodent.
American Ninja Warrior Squirrel.
Shows you how little food exists in nature
How often do yu change batteries, about every 25 minutes?
That's what you call bromance!
Perseverance always pays off. Lol
the squirrel mocked the yankee droll because he took the pills for motion sickness previously
